  • Ancestry and Descendants of William Henrie, the “Heir” and Progenitor of the Henrie Families of Utah
    ANCESTRY AND DESCENDANTS OF WILLIAM HENRIE 1799—1883 by Manetta (Prince) Henrie (Revised, Updated and Reprinted by Ryan Henrie) Published 1954 Provo, Utah DEDICATION: To the younger generation and those who come after, this history of the WILLIAM HENRIE FAMILY is dedicated. PREFACE This volume includes data which the author has found and recorded on the ancestry and descendants of William Henrie, the “heir” and progenitor of the Henrie families of Utah. Much time and effort have been expended in the stupendous task of compiling this history. It seems to have been the custom of members of the general Henry family, in Scotland and elsewhere, to write the surname as “Henarie,” as Michael, the emigrant ancestor from Scotland, signed his name. Other common ways of spelling the name were “Hendry,” “Henery,” “Henry,” and “Henrie.” In America, there are thirty-two various spellings of the name. Host of the later records in this book, genealogical and biographical, were received from members of the family. The data were conscientiously checked and compared with every available source; but it is difficult to write history covering the activities and biographies of different members of any family and not have some part of it conflict with that written by others, no matter how painstakingly the material has been gathered. Family history is interesting, but not always accurate. If there are errors, it is hoped that the family will not disdain to appreciate the product as a whole. If more apace has been devoted to one individual than another, it is because more information was submitted.
